What a beautiful story for a beautiful little girl. God bless this family and all the others. We have a grandson with some Autism, and when I look at his beautiful little face, he is a perfect and precious as our other grandsons.

I don’t know what to say to this, I am acquainted with one individual who suffers from this but I am not too familiar with down syndrome. Good article.

Early on, I had asked my mother whether she thought Down syndrome happened because of sin in the world. She responded gently, “The only evidence of sin I see is in how the world reacts to Penny.”

I am glad she came to terms with it in whatever way. But articles like this of self centered people’s first reactions to their ‘not what we expected’ children are pretty darn revolting. The way she thought her child was an abomination until she read differently in a book... ug, turns my stomach.

When I see a Downe’s Syndrome child, I see innocense and sweetness, and sometimes I wish we were all more childlike.
I know they are normal in that they need training and discipline.
But mostly, I think on myself, my willful sin and rebellion, and that makes me think on God and His grace and mercy.
We are all broken by sin and the fall. In God’s eyes we are in the same condition as these “imperfect” ones.
I am thankful He loves us just the way we are. Jesus died, not for the perfect, but for sinful men.

Two and a half years after Penny was born, I don’t think of her as defective, or retarded, or abnormal. I think back to that first evening of her life, when I cringed at the words about the baby next door: “She’s perfect!” I still wouldn’t call Penny perfect. I wouldn’t call any human being, besides Jesus, perfect. I am well aware that Penny needs healing and redemption through Christ, as do I.

This is true OF EVERYONE. This is what needs needs NEEDS to be remembered of ALL human beings NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCE IN THEIR LIVES.

We know that heaven involves seeing God face to face.

I wholeheartedly believe that we are afforded a small taste of what that is like -- that glimpse into the Face of Our Father -- when we look in to the eyes of a newborn. All children are perfect in the eyes of God -- even those considered defective by a bankrupt society/culture.

After all, they were just with Him.

I’ve worked with Down Syndrome kids. Amazingly sweet children. Always just want to give you a hug.

God knew better than to give me a special angel like this one. I’d be 10x more fierce than I already am, and the good Lord needs a break. ;)
